Cui Shou's face was gloomy. Although he was not sure or confident about winning the city today, he still felt a little stressed when he saw Da Zhou's fighting power being so fierce.
This war was initiated unilaterally by the Rock Tribe. Although it was in the name of Shanu, only the Rock Tribe and the affiliated tribes of the Rock Tribe participated in the war.
If they win, they will be safe in the two states. If they fail, the Rock Tribe may be in danger of being annexed by the other three tribes.
After all, although the Shanu Kingdom has the Shanu Alliance, it is not unified after all, and some things cannot be unified.
With the internal development, more and more Shanu people want to completely unify the Shanu Kingdom, but the four major tribes of the Shanu Kingdom are evenly matched. Everyone wants to unify, but no one has the ability to unify.
If the Rock Tribe is defeated this time, they will completely lose their right to speak in the Shanu Kingdom, and may also be annexed by the other three major tribes.
Cui Shou stood in the military camp and looked in the direction of Chen Cheng.
In the next few days, they will violently attack the city, focusing all the attention of the Zhou army on them to buy time for Yan Xian and others.
For three consecutive days, Cui Shou led the army to attack the city. At night, he occasionally harassed the city, making the Zhou army tense and alert.
Bai Yutian, on the other hand, would go to the city wall every time there was a battle to personally direct the battle, boosting the morale of the army and soaring its combat effectiveness.
Regarding this situation, Cui Shou was also very depressed. He was obviously a weak and incompetent emperor three years ago. When Shannu invaded Uehara, he abandoned the capital and ran away. But now he is leading the expedition in person and commanding the front line, making their battle more powerful.
difficulty.
However, Cui Shou was full of confidence. When Yan Xian captured Chen City and surrounded the city, the Zhou army would be destroyed, and Bai Yutian might even be captured by then.
If Bai Yutian is really captured, their Rock Tribe will undoubtedly gain more benefits, and Cui Shou will also become the hero of the entire Rock Tribe.
At the same time, after three days of marching, Yan Xian and others finally arrived at Chencheng. The army was weak and exhausted.
After all, they were walking on a small road, but they had to pass through steep cliffs. The army accelerated their march, and they were able to reach Chencheng within three days, which was already very fast.
At this marching speed, the soldiers of the army naturally became more exhausted.
"General Yan, in front of you is Chen City. There are only about 10,000 defenders in the entire city." Yuncheng said calmly.
"Hahaha, pass my order, all soldiers rest where they are for four hours, and then attack Chencheng fiercely." Yan Xian said proudly.
There were only about 10,000 defenders. In his opinion, Chen Cheng was already within his grasp.
"General Yan, I think it is better to attack the city directly now. The defenders of Chen City are only ten thousand, and we have an army of one hundred thousand, so we will definitely be afraid. The sooner we capture Chen City, the sooner we can surround the city.
When the time comes, General Yan will be the first to achieve success."
Yuncheng shook his head and said to Yan Xian.
Yan Xian thought carefully for a moment and nodded. He had to say that Yuncheng's analysis made sense.
Although their saddles and horses were tired, they still had an absolute advantage in numbers. In addition, the shadow left by Shanu in the hearts of the Zhou soldiers, a direct attack might not be able to capture Chencheng directly.
"Okay, as Sir said, all officers and men will follow me to attack Chencheng." Yan Xian shouted loudly, and his spirits were high.
Shanu's army is hidden in the mountains and forests, surrounding Chencheng.
After hearing Yan Xian's order, the army stood up forcefully even though they were tired, rushed out of the mountains and forests, held up torches, and attacked Chencheng.
Shanu's attack and the sound of the trumpet finally woke up Chencheng's defenders. When they saw the enemy invading, they instantly became vigilant. When they saw the enemy's identity clearly, they were even more frightened.
Because there was a city in front of Chencheng to resist Shanu's army, the defenders of Chencheng didn't have much defense at all. When they saw Shanu's attack, their formation was immediately disrupted.
Finally, under the command of several generals, the Chencheng defenders temporarily stabilized the situation. At the same time, the Chencheng defenders continued to rush towards the city wall in an attempt to resist the Shanu army.
"Archery."
Although there was chaos inside Chencheng, it quickly stabilized. Facing Shannu's attack, the defenders of Chencheng also began to resist, shooting a hail of arrows from the sky.
But now Shanu is using the human sea tactic. The long march has made them exhausted and their strength is greatly reduced, so they can only use the people in front to get most of them to rush to the bottom of the city wall.
As long as they reach the bottom of the city wall, with the strength of Chencheng's defenders, they cannot stop the attack of Shanu's army.
Although this will sacrifice some people, Yan Xian can't care so much for military merit and honor.
After all, the Chencheng defenders had too few troops and seemed a bit powerless in the face of the Shannu army that was several times their size.
Soon, Shanu's army attacked under the city wall and began to attack the city. Moreover, it had an absolute advantage.
Some of the Chencheng defenders even threw away their weapons and did not intend to resist.
Seeing this situation, Yan Xian was even more excited, thinking that Zhang Feng's words were indeed correct, and at the same time he accelerated his attack.
"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!" A deafening voice came from Shanu's army, which almost shattered Chen Cheng.
Chencheng was different from Yicheng. Not only did the number of defenders there be very small, there were not even famous generals. Faced with this situation, there was nothing we could do.
Slowly, Shanu captured most of the city wall, even knocked down the city gate, and the army rushed into Chen City.
Seeing this situation, the Chencheng defenders also knew that there was nothing they could do to save the day, and almost everyone gave up resistance.
At this time, an old man wearing armor appeared in Chencheng. He was about seventy years old and very old, but his figure was very strong.
This person is the city lord of Chen City. He is an old man with no children. Facing the powerful Shanu army, he does not even have the courage to fight to the death.
"We surrender, we surrender." The Lord of Chen City shouted loudly, and at the same time ordered everyone to put down their weapons and surrender to Shanu's army.
Seeing that the city lords had surrendered, some generals who wanted to resist felt helpless and could only hold back their anger and retreat to the side.
At the same time, all the city gates of Chen City were opened to welcome the entry of Shanu's army.
"Congratulations to General Yan, we can capture Chencheng and annex Xuzhou soon." Yuncheng hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate, making Yan Xian even more excited.
Yan Xian also admired and trusted Yuncheng even more. If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have taken such a big credit.
"Sir, your words are serious. This matter can be accomplished at least half of your credit."
After Yan Xian entered Chen City, he immediately wrote a letter and asked his men to secretly send it to Shanu's army outside the city.
If nothing else happens, this war will be over soon.
